It is nearly 11,000 years old. There are carvings on the rock statues, mainly of lions, foxes, snakes, cranes and wild ducks, as well as scenes of people hunting. Because heavy snow makes it hard to get to the top of the hill, visitors are not remended to go there in winters.White Temple, ThailandImmediately upon entering White Temple, you will realize this contemporary, unconventional temple stands out, even in a country dotted with temples. The White Temple is incredibly different and unique in its architecture, art and design. In fact, it is designed in a very modern way. This temple is all white. It is very hot in summer in Thailand, so going to White Temple in other three seasons is a wise choice.Sagrada Familia, SpainThis symbolic Barcelona building is famously unfinished. It is said to be finished by 2026, but nobody believes it. However, visitors believe its inpleteness is part of its charm, which sets it apart from other temples in the world. You will have to wait in a long line if you visit Sagrada Familia in summer holiday. Visitors are not that many in spring and winter.Kinkaku-ji, JapanThis temple is absolutely the most popular one in Japan. Whether you visit during the fall when there are red leaves against the golden wall, in winter when the gold is topped with pure white snow, in spring with cherry blossoms, or in summer allowing you to smell the earthy smell after rain there is never a bad time to visit this beautiful temple.1.

This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you dont know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them. At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free，and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill. Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day. Serving in restaurants is often large, too large for many people. If you cant finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows youre taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”, which means an especially big noon meal. Tipping plays an important role in American peoples daily life. It reflects a kind of good manners and appreciation for the services provided. Usually tips are not added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. Generally speaking, a tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. 28. Which of the following statements is true?A. American people like sitting with people they dont know.B. A hostess will seat a small group at a large table if its available.C. American people never sit with people they dont know even if they have to wait.D. Americans think it impolite to smoke without asking when sitting with people they dont know.29.

They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy it later. 31. What can you learn about “tips” according to the last paragraph?A. The price of the meal usually includes the tip.B. People are not always expected to pay tips after a meal.C. Tips are supposed to be left on the table when customers leave.D. Customers should give a tip of about 25% of the price of the meal.DParents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table. Just three minutes extra at a family mealtime could help prevent child obesity. Research found that among poor families, the extra minutes at mealtimes made great improvement of a normal weight for the youth. The factors are likely to be munication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a week, weigh less than kids who leave the table after 15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and bee really powerful.”The researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the effects of factors and mealtime behavior of families with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have an obese child. Similarly, families, who talked more together and interacted more positively during the meal, were more likely to have healthy-weight children.Teaching low-ine families how to make the most of family mealtimes was a wise idea. Dr Fiese said, “This is something we can target and teach.” She added, “Its also important to recognize the increasing differences of families and their sometimes plex living arrangements that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and arrange a single time to municate with each other.”Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced a lot of problems, including poor access to healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the childrens weight. Dr Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more possible.”32. According to the passage, to have a healthy-weight child, parents should _.A. limit the food for each mealB. increase their eating timeC. shorten the mealtime D. make them eat healthy food33. How much time is reasonable for one meal according to the passage?A. About 15 minutes. B. About 17 minutes.C. About 20 minutes. D. About 13 minutes.34. Why does a longer mealtime make a difference to a normal weight?A. Because people can have a good rest as they eat meals.B. Because people can have time to choose what they like.C. Because people can use mealtimes to do other things.D. Because people can municate more in the scheduled time.35. What does Dr Fiese suggest to us?A. Parents should not municate during mealtime.B. Twenty extra minutes per meal make a healthy weight.C. Its better to add three to four extra minutes to one meal.D. Four meals a day will make a difference to the childrens weight.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。So Holidays can be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays solo. 36 1.Plan your time in advance Youll have several days to fill up, so be proactive.
